Mariani Out

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Frank Mariani pushed his last chips in the middle and Norson Saho made the call. Holding {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, Mariani had to win the flip to survive, facing {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} for Saho, but a dry board {8-} high brought Saho the winning hand and sent Mariani into the rail.

Mackey Wins One

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

James Mackey opened to 4,500 and Dan Ott raised it to 11,000 from one seat over. The action folded back to Mackey who opted for the call.

The flop went {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Mackey check-called Ott's bet for 10,000. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and the same action happened, this time for 15,000. Both players checked on the river {2-Spades} and Mackey turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, which was enough to make Ott muck his hand.

Dechant Keeps Firing

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Dieter Dechant opened to 5,500 from early position and found three callers to the flop of {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Action checked to Dechant who bet 20,000 and the only person to call was an opponent in the big blind.

The turn fell the {6-Spades}, the big blind opponent checked and Dechant then moved all in for around 75,000. His opponent folded and Dechant scooped in a nice sized pot.
